Started watching "FUBAR" on Netflix last night w Ah-nold.....8 episodes, an hour each - shut it off after about 40 minutes.

Literally during his retirement party as a CIA operative, he's sucked back in when an operative has to be removed and only he can do it. He flies to some remote jungle and gasp....it turns out to be his estranged daughter!

After the requisite "Dad, do you REALLY think I'm still a virgin???" jokes, i had to shut it off.

I read some excoriating reviews for that show, really terrible. I'd be willing to bet they rushed it out before the writer's strike and it just was DOA with no chance for punch ups. Even Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall is in it! It could have had potential...

My wife went back to "War of the worlds" on MGM+. Kind of slow (at first), but really builds into something great. More "The Expanse" than "Mandalorian" style heady sci-fi.

There's only one FUBAR and this ain't it!!

I just finished it. I was in awe of the cast every show seeing how fantastic their preparation and their improv skills were. Pretty happy go lucky show that made me laugh tons and enjoy

What was interesting that no one ever brought up is that James Marsden wasn't the only celebrity on the show. There was another juror (Kirk Fox) that's been in a lot of TV and movies and I instantly recognized him. I wonder if part of the interview process was looking for someone who didn't watch much tv or movies, because he barely knew who James was.

The other thing that gets me is...this guy was practically a saint. They lucked out there, but again...I'm sure there was something in the interview process, and also that he knew he was on TV (for the fake documentary) that made him be on his best behavior...except that there were lots of pieces where he didn't even know he was being filmed.

It was pulled off very well and yes the improv was great.

Entertaining show for sure.

Yeah, same, I instantly recognized Kirk Fox and laughed out loud

I'll have to check out War of the Worlds - love me some sci fi.

Watched The Prisoner on Netflix last night, someone on the "i need a good movie to watch" thread suggested it - pretty good. 2.5 hours....

John Wick 4 - Wick Harder or Wick Resurrection or The Wick and The Dead

I mean...I don't know how they did it. This series is basically a video game, and it's better than any video game movie made. I don't think any of them are bad, and 4 is an excellent closer. (although I hear there's a 5 in the works...so who knows...). Generally there's only a few good movies in a series....but this one has no bad ones.

It's no different than the last 3...just...more of it, but still great.

I want to thank all the guys here that recommended The Expanse!!!

About to restart the wick series, only ever seen 1 and two.

How far in are you? The first season is REEEEEALLLLLLY SLOOOOOOOOW.... It finally enters Babylon 5 territory (that's a good thing LOL) mid-season 2

I guess I need to go back to it, i got thru 1, and part of 2, but it just bored me to no end.

Yep, I get that. I had to try 4 times and finally completely bereft of other shows, put it on while I was rebuilding my office, and something finally clicked.

I know its old....I know it was mentioned years back. But its new to me. The Knick. HBO. Wow. What a great show....

Good to know. I've tried to start about 3x now. It's got everything I like, but it does feel really slow. I'll plan to give it another shot

One of my favourite shows of all time right there.

It was riveting!I’m a book reader so slow is fine while you are building

(Thats what she said.)

Took me a couple tries on Expanse to start/restart. It was slow then good.

Now up to season 4 and it is slow again…
You say the rest thru season 6 picks back up?

If I recall correctly Season 5 is fantastic, and season 6 is "pretty good" (I think that's when they had a big budget cut). I dont' remember specifically about season 4. stick with it!

and they lost a character to sexual harassment allegations.

the after show is also interesting. I only watched the last 2 seasons of the aftershow on amazon prime.

Aah, did not know that. I kinda miss Tom Jane in the later seasons, he stuck out like this character in the wrong space and time, as funny as it sounds, I thought it worked well

I agree I liked tom janes character. But the character lost to harassment was at the very end Season 5 or the very start of season 6? They just made that person go away instantly. I don’t want to name the as it will be a spoiler. I liked his character. Too bad they had to go.

Dammit! I’m going to revisit that. Watched 3 episodes and was out. Got to be nice and cold for that shit. Hopefully warrior doesn’t go PC. I might have to round kick a few tv’s if so….

Why would Warrior change now? It’s an HBO show still, yes? Season 3 should be a knockout! (See what I did ther… lol)

“Still” on Apple TV. Michael J Fox is as compelling as he’s ever been. Very well done all the way around, it’s a fantastic watch

Creating new old memories with this device today.

70 bucks and it plays and includes all games through ps1.

Toys I no longer have.

Wrong thread? Or am I missing a new tv show

This looks like a cool little system, but you definitely posted this in the wrong thread.

Unless he's lamenting about how now he will never be on Collector's Call!

Never thought in a million years that I would agree. Always thought Pete Davidson was overhyped and a complete waste on SNL. But this show is great, if not way off color at times. Plenty of outrageous "shock" humor to go along with some real "smarter" humor and warmth. Joe Pesci must've seen something in the writing as the show came together because he just doesn't do much anymore. But he steals every scene that he is in, as one would expect. And the whole season clocks in at about 4 hours (8, 1/2 hour episodes). Contrast this with the bloated (final?) season of Ted Lasso that became so self-important that it had 13 1 hour episodes. Stuck with that one out of obligation. Went from pandemic comfort food to preachy, but quick. Felt more like chopping wood than a Lonnie Ropp rule set.

Yup

It's OK. We all do it sometimes...

This is the thread you're looking for!

Warrior Come out to play like the cocksucker show you are!

Finished "Dark Winds" last night. Nice quick one off 6 episode season mini series. Great acting and really enjoyed the (hopefully) great unique first nations aspect of it. I think it was AMC

Not a one off, the series was renewed for a six-episode second season, which is set to premiere on July 30, 2023

I'm really surprised at how so many people turned against Ted Lasso. Season 3 wasn't quite as interesting as the first two (and I agree the episodes were way too long in most cases), but I thought it was still better than most other similar shows.

I enjoyed the 3rd season but not as much as the first two. I wish it ended better. Too bad there is no season 4 planned.

Finally saw the finale. I had seen everything up to that point when I posted. It did redeem itself (a bit)- haha. Doesn't take away from the fact that there were a lot of half-baked storylines just sort of cobbled together though, making for unnecessarily long episodes. That's where it fell down for me.

Oh right on. It kind of seemed to be set-up to be over. Must be more to the mine and the dark forces.

Just finished "Drops of God" on Apple - thought it was was very well done and highly recommend but since its in French, Japanese, Italian and English its not gonna work for anybody that is put off by subtitles.

French wine connoisseur/publisher who was living and teaching in Japan dies and leaves his vast wine collection worth 150M to either his estranged French daughter or his star student from Japan depending on how they perform on a series of wine challenges. Probably best not to read too much about it and just dive in as the episodes pace quickly and as the story unfolds it all starts to make sense and its only eight one hour episodes

The episode when tnd is saying F U to his mom, was really hard to fit in/justify/felt way out of place. Even roy controls himself around kids. I dont think ted would ever say F U to his mom. he might say fiddle sticks or fudge or something else, but not that.

I've been subscribed/lurking to/in this thread for years. I had never heard of Jury Duty (Amazon Prime) before seeing it here. We just finished it last night... Great show.

I think they were showing how far back and pent up the energy was from Ted and is probably part of his life issues.

I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of Mike Judge's new Beavis and Butthead episodes. There is a good mix of Beavis and Butthead in High School and "Middle Aged" Beavis and Butthead. They watch youtube videos now (mostly) instead of music videos. If you can only watch one episode I recommend Season 1 episode 2. Streaming on Paramount Plus.

Hard to disagree. I thought the finale was awesome though. Bill Lawrence left before season 3 to do “Shrinking” which may have led to some of the excesses.

This. Ted’s whole deal is that he’s repressed and even though his overall outlook is super positive, you shouldn’t pretend that things are ok when they aren’t, which he learned from his mom. (Same
Mom from Freaks & Geeks I realized). It’s definitely weird and did kind of feel out of character - but that was exactly the point to the scene. I thought Sudekis did some great acting in that scene - he wasn’t yelling, he was clearly getting subtly emotional as much as Ted was capable, and it somehow was a “feel good” scene despite (or partly due to) the dialogue.

My wife HATES this show, but I still get a kick out of it. I do wish they would watch some metal videos though. That was always awesome when they would rag on my favorite bands (Death - “The Philsopher” comes to mind)
